Start building with the GPT Image 2 API

Text-to-image generation and image editing endpoints, both available via API.

How to access the GPT Image 2 API

The client API handles the request submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("openai/gpt-image-2", {
  input: {
    prompt: "A product photo of a coffee bag labeled 'Summit Roast' with mountain artwork, on a rustic wooden table",
    image_size: "landscape_16_9",
    quality: "high",
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});

console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);
